Minneapolis, MN – September 2025: RUDRAM, a Telugu-language independent feature directed by debut filmmaker Sasi Chakravarthula, will hold an exclusive private screening on September 14, 2025, at Woodbury 10 Theatre, Minnesota (USA).
Filmed entirely in Minnesota with debut actors and local talent, RUDRAM is a rare Telugu production born in the U.S.
The film weaves together themes of sisterhood, resilience, and the fight against the opioid crisis, combining authentic American landscapes with the mythological and spiritual depth of Indian storytelling.
The response has been overwhelming - all 250 seats were booked within just 10 hours of announcement, highlighting the strong buzz and anticipation surrounding the project.
Director Sasi Chakravarthula shared: “RUDRAM is a deeply personal journey. It reflects the struggles of two sisters caught in a storm much larger than themselves, yet it is also about hope, strength, and the spirit of justice. As a first-time filmmaker, I am proud to bring a Telugu story born in Minnesota to audiences in both the U.S. and India.”
With its raw performances, authentic narrative, and mythological undertones, RUDRAM has already sparked conversations and is poised to reach wider audiences through film festivals and beyond.
The September 14th event will feature a cast-and-crew meet-and-greet at 6:00 PM, followed by the screening at 7:00 PM sharp. Attendance is private, invitation-only, and complimentary.
